How to open R49 file?

The main problem with Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 51) is that the R49 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file R49 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R49 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install WinRAR

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WinRAR is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WinRAR into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file R49.

Programs to open R49 file

Remember to download programs supporting R49 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R49 files

If, despite the installed application, the R49 file does not start in the WinRAR application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the R49 file with the WinRAR program.

Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version

If, despite the association of the WinRAR program with the Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 51) file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the win.rar GmbH website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R49 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to R49 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our R49 file. However, remember that not every infected R49 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the R49 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular R49 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Eugene Roshal
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file R49 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the R49 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the R49 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the R49 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
